Hi,
Yes, I believe that is a problem. I know two friends who never use their telescopes now, one of them the person who got me started.
There is an active thread about it all here also, where the solution is to use this forum to find out as much as you can about what avenues there are.
I was fortunate because my thing is looking at double stars, and that pastime is not as badly affected.
What is "extreme astronomy", is it observing in winter while naked?
Cheers
